Just out the blue, what's the turntable going to be used for and how much weight will it have to support? Is it to place a model on top of?

I think he is talking about Bob's model.

Well, this year I try to anticipate the Technic problems I might encounter during SHIPtember... last year's was a big failure, as I struggled with my old 9v motors and pneumatic system. Here is the video:

What a great idea for a Topic! "Gears & Motors for Spacemen". I first discovered Eurobricks when I was searching for solutions for including various Technic features in my sci-fi models. The innovative mechanisms that people include in their Technic cars amaze me (and inspire me too). I might have to make use of this in the future.

In thing I'm doing, I need to rotate axle, going through Small technic turntable, with the same angular velocity, as rotating turntable has (kind of synchronization, I couldn't hard-couple them as in other mode it should rotate alone and turntable will be locked). And I don't have any 14-teeth gears to drive rotation of small turntable (but I have some 28-teeth diffs). Does anybody have some experience/ideas in synchronizing rotation through small turntable with rotation of turntable itself?

Interesting design for SHIPtember. That's one of the things I miss not participating in two years ago. Unfortunately I won't be able to participate for the next couple years because of college, but I always find it interesting to see all of the creative designs that come out of it.
